1994 Mercury Sable Wagon: There's an assembly on the firewall leaking power steering fluid. What is it?

Question

I have no power steering. I've used Stop-X ... nothing. I noticed some type of assembly on the firewall leaking the power steering fluid. Looks like a solenoid of some type. Any ideas? Thanx.

Answer 1

The rack and pinion is bolted to the sub frame in the back of the engine.Most of them have a vaps variable asssist power steering on it where the lines hook that look like a solenoid.That,s what you must be talking about.The seals must be broken and leaking

Answer 2

I can't think of any power steering on the firewall. Could it be your brakes?
